Follow Us On

Renowned television presenter 44-year-old Gail Porter (Scotland) has had a memory of a ‘hellish’ experience in her past. She says being in Channel 5's Big Brother is the worst thing ever. Gail, who is living with alopecia, a condition of disappearing hair including eyelashes and eyebrows, bares her heart recently after being evicted from the show. She spent 20 days in the CBB house.

Talking to the DailyMail, she said: ‘The worst thing ever. And I should know, I’ve been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.’

She shared that the winner of the show James Hill once asked her whether alopecia was contagious. She touched him on the knees and said, "Yes, it is. See – you've got it now."

Porter was seen crying after being nominated for the eviction.

Inside the house, contestants taunted her and bullied. People used to comfort her. She had to say, 'I have to say: "It's not cancer. It's all right. I'm not going to die." ' The effort to be this buoyant must be exhausting, I say. 'Ha!' She snorts. 'I have to stay on top of my mood. If I feel depressed in the morning, I'm up and I'm out for a run - rain, wind, snow, anything.

Gail is also suffering from a bipolar disorder since her 20s.

Several bitter incidents in the life left her with the physical and mental weaknesses. But she doesn't want to be known by her problems.

Gail is also known for her photos in FHM magazine. One of her pictures included a nude posture that was exposed onto the Parliament in 1999.

That was to promote the magazine's hottest women poll. The incident left her nervous and broken. During an interview, she had told, 'I am old and ­knackered, bald and mental... but at least I can laugh about it.'

Gail was honored with the Best TV Presenter award in 2000. With Kelly Brook (left picture)
